Heyo,
I got a '89 Mesa Boogie Caliber 50+ recently and found out from actual playing (as well as referenced in the manual) that the FX-Loop isn't that pedal friendly.
If I put a true bypass delay pedal in the loop for instance, the overal tone gets quite a bit darker/muffled.
Apparently this loop wants to see line-level FX... Is there a way to make it more pedal friendly?
As there's no wet/dry mix knob, I figured it's already a serial loop, but the levels need to change I guess.
